Tuckersmith candidates vie
Larry McGrath
Lan -y McGrath has spent the past
six years as a councillor in
Tuckersmith but is now one of
three candidates vying for the
Deputy -Reeve's position. He is a
lifelong resident of the township,
now a self-employed plumber, and
he and his wife Dianne have three
children: Andrea, Laura and Greg.
"I want to voice the opinions of the
urban and rural taxpayers," says
Mr. McGrath, 38, who describes
himself as "an approachable
candidate who is willing to listen."
"As a self-employed businessman I
want to ensure that hard-earned tax
dollars are spent wisely and the
needs of the taxpayers are met, "he
adds.
The McGraths live on Victoria St.
in Egmondville and Larry has
served on both the Seaforth and
District Arena Board and the
Seaforth and Area Fire Board.
Bob Broadfoot
Incumbent Bob Broadfoot wants
to continue to provide a strong
voice for agriculture as Deputy -
Reeve on Tuckersmith council. He
says he takes pride in serving the
township, and prefers a business
approach to council work.
Mr. Broadfoot, 57, spent five
years as a councillor before winning
the Deputy -Reeve's post in
Tuckersmith five years ago. He
farms at RR 1 Brucefield and his
wife, Donna, works at Huronview.
They have three children.
Mr. Broadfoot is on the steering
committee of the Central Huron
Mobility Service, a supporter of the
Brucefield United Church and was
President of the Seaforth
Agricultural Society from 1983-84.
Rob McLeod
Incumbent Rob McLeod wants to
continue learning and serving in
Tuckersmith as a councillor, to
ensure tax dollars are equally split
between urban and rural areas.
The 29 -year-old route salesman
for Hostess who lives on Victoria
St. in Vanastra is separated and has
two children: Miranda and William.
He is on the township's police
committee and is a Seaforth and
District Community Centre board
member.
He was named to Tuckersmith
Council when Coun. Douglas Smith
resigned.
Frederick Mulder
Frederick Mulder is a 43 -year-old
farmer from RR 1 Brucefield who
wants to find out what it is like on
the other side of the political fence.
That is why he is one of five candi-
dates campaigning for three avail-
able seats on Tuckersmith council.
"It's easy to criticize and a lot
harder to make a decision that
everyone likes," he notes.
Mr. Mulder has no previous pol-
itical experience but he has cam-
paigned for the local Cancer
Society in the past.
His wife's name is Alice and they
have four daughters: Laura, Rita,
Jan and Lucia.
He wants to make sure there are
no tax increases in the township.
William J. (Bill) DeJong
William J. (Bill) DeJong is
another in the running for Deputy -
Reeve in Tuckersmith. He is
currently a councilor who believes
capital projects should be spread
evenly between urban and rural
areas.
"Although new industry is hard to
attract and it becomes frustrating
we must keep trying," says the 54 -
year -old farrow -to -finish hog farmer
who lives at RR 1 Brucefield. "We
must strive to maintain our identity
and our rights."
Mr. DeJong says some important
issues at hand are the attempted re-
structuring of the Tuckersmith
Municipal Telephone system and
the CHuMs mobility bus.
He was vice chairman of the
Clinton Monster Bingo Committee
for three years and has been a
member of the Hensall Fire Board
and involved with Huron County
Farm safety, as well as a municipal
drainage inspector. From 1979 to
1988 he was a director of the
Hensall District Co-op, and its
president in 1985.
Mr. DeJong's wife is Doreen and
they have two grown children:
Colleen and Karen.

from his father who served as
